The problem
A state-certified chemical application training program was a job he had been putting off for years.

How to set it up yourself
- What Taussig Landscape did: the owner gave ChatGPT the state rules and his training manuals and built a chemical-application training program from its output, which the state approved.
- Download your state's current applicator rules and training requirements, plus the labels and safety data sheets for the products you use.
- Upload them with your own manual and use the prompt below. Check every rate, re-entry interval and record-keeping rule against the label and the regulation yourself.
- Submit it the way your state requires, and keep the source documents with the program so you can update it when the rules change.
Copy-paste prompt
Attached are {STATE}'s rules for {CATEGORY, e.g. commercial ornamental and turf} pesticide applicator training, our product labels and our current training manual at {COMPANY NAME}. Build a training program outline that covers every requirement in the rules: modules, learning goals, hands-on checks and a short quiz for each module. Cite the rule section each module covers. Use only what's in the attached documents, and list any requirement you couldn't find covered.One short email a day: 3 new AI use cases from real small businesses, each with its source and setup steps, plus a Tool of the Day.
